I think DJ and Randy are handling that so far? I wouldn't mind lending some fingertips and half a brain here but I've not yet caught up with everything that's been going on in the blanket ticket. > Second, I'd like to see a new page on how we are addressing building LFS as a > 64-bit system.

Well most of what is needed to allow 64-bit systems is done already, since the separate branch I made a while ago was aiming for that. The principles and method there should work fine, but the packages are out of date. In fact, most of the current differences between the branch and trunk outside of package versions and related changes are quite small. The one thing I hadn't done yet was adjust the boot-loader section because grub won't work with 64-bit. So what do you still require in 'a new page'? > Then a 6.4 or 7.0 release would be appropriate. > After that, we can address package management.

Yeah, and that's part of the discussion I was trying to avoid again just now. I rather doubt we'd be able to reach a consensus just yet. Perhaps after the next release as you say. -- JH -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
